of a region in Germany. What

2) At this crossing of Autobahn 9, the number of accidents being reported
started increasing when a structure came up in the blanked out area in the

of being capable of being much more creative. What was apparently the
cause of all these accidents?

• These venues share a unique distinction with respect to the home teams, in their
respective leagues.
• Which are the two venues? What distinction do they hold?

sponsorships. Probably the most famous one being , buying the naming
rights of the homeground of a major US sports league team that has had

1) This was first discovered during an excavation led
by Sir Charles Warren in 1868, at the request of the
Palestine Exploration fund. Down the years, several
other excavation projects revealed more of the entity
in question, and on carbon dating, it was suggested
to date back to approximately 8000BC. The name
entered popular culture due to its usage by the six
time world champion, Christopher Keith Irvine. On
September 30th, 2017, Jonno Mears made history in
his profession by being the first person to use this to
register a win. What is being talked about?

2) The origin of this phrase dates back to the Edwardian Period when
actresses, because of their low pay or the need for extra money, used to
be available for hire after their stage performances, and they used to
confess about these experiences to the clergymen. This was used as a
double entendre during the time. The North American variant of this
phrase is the more famous one, and was first used in its popular form
on a 1975 episode of Saturday night live, and continued to make
appearances on Wayne’s World sketches as well as the movie. The
popularity of the phrase though, is tied to a TV series which used both
the American, and the British variants in the respective versions. Which
catchphrase (The American Variant)? Which TV series?

That’s what she said.
As the actress said to the bishop. (UK version)
The Office.

3) An animated movie named Fe, was scheduled to be premiered on
13th May, 2017, at the 100th anniversary of the apparitions of the
Virgin Mary to three children in Fatima, Portugal. When it came to
choosing a person to voice Pope Francis, they needed someone who
was fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish and Italian. The Vatican
approved the casting of this 52 year old, who had shown his prowess
in all these languages ( because language of communication plays a
vital role in his profession).
When asked about his Catholicism, he said he prays for his family life
and for happiness. “But I can say the reality is I never go to the church
to speak with Him about ________. Never!”
Who was this 52 year old, selected to voice ‘ The Holy one’?

in the design approximate a type of geometric figure called an astroid, a particular type
of hypocycloid with four cusps. A yellow figure is located at the top of the design,
orange to the right and blue on the bottom, with the word “_____“ (the industry) on
the left side. The logo appears within a gray ring against a white background.
An Astroid
Adding three letters to the blank will give the name of a
famous team from North American sports, hence the
association saw it as a brilliant product placement
opportunity. So from 1962, the team has been using this
mark with the added three letters as their logo.

6) This is a song called ‘Bombay Calling’ by the band ‘ It’s a

1) So Lorna and I came up with a plan. I
would, for a four-week period,
ruthlessly clear my diary and go on
what we somewhat mysteriously called
a “Crash”. During the Crash, I would do
nothing but write from 9am to
10.30pm, Monday through Saturday.
I’d get one hour off for lunch and two
for dinner. I’d not see, let alone answer,
any mail, and would not go near the
phone. No one would come to the
house. This, fundamentally, was
how The Remains of the Day was
written and it was completed in just 4
weeks. The book went on to win the
Booker Prize and was later adapted
into a movie as well. Identify the
author.

• 2) In 2008, the name was Julie. In 2009 and 2010,
there were two each- Kate and kate’s Dirty Sister
and 'Luscious Liz‘ and 'Randy Mandy'. 'Kinky Kylie'
followed in 2011. Abbey in 2012 and Hungry Heidi
in 2013. In 2014, it was Suzie, Eva in 2015,
margherita in 2016 and Gina -- short for Regina,
the Latin for Queen in 2017. What is this all about?

3) This Google doodle was released on her 116th birthday. This academy
awards record holder was rumoured to be the inspiration behind a
character from a 2004 Pixar movie. The voice actor behind the role later
confirmed that there wasn’t any truth to the rumours, in spite of the
obvious similarities. Which character, and what record does she hold with
respect to the Oscars?

Edna Mode from The
Incredibles.
Edith Head, won 8 Oscars
for costume designing.
The most number of
Oscars won by a woman.

4) “A type of dessert, often associated with Swiss and French cuisine,
made from whipped egg whites and sugar, and occasionally an acid such
as cream of tartar or a small amount of vinegar…”. What is the name of
this dish? It is also the nickname of a football club, because someone
saw the resemblance between the dish and the all white kit of the team.
Id the club as well.

5) The album cover and name of the sixth
studio albums by Kansas, and a deathgrind
band called Cattle Decapitation have the
same source of inspiration. Probably the
most famous album cover to derive
inspiration from this source was released in
1971, as the fifth studio album of the band.
What sets it apart from the above two is
that the inspiration is insulted in a way, on
the album cover. The name of the album
seems like a play on the band’s name,
suggesting their arrival.
What is the common inspiration? Which is
the band and album in question?

2001 : A Space Odyssey,
Monoliths
Who’s Next, The Who

6) Last week, New Yorker magazine published an article in which the
author, Shannon Reed comically describes the title/story of classic

Give the title corresponding to the following:
• A sad story about winemaking and occupational complications.
Lenny gets shot at the end.
• Much baseball, underwater.
• A book about people in skyscrapers, looking at each other with deep
disdain.

• 7) Yoshi creator Shigefumi Hino has finally ended the enduring
“punching or pointing” fan debate. “Lots of people think that while he
is pointing his finger forward, he’s saying ‘Go,’ and Yoshi’s tongue
comes out,” Hino says. “However, the set up that I drew was that
when he punches Yoshi in the head, the character’s tongue shoots out
in surprise.” That cute little noise Yoshi makes when his tongue shoots
out just became a horrifying squeal for help. Who is punching Yoshi?

• 8) Which golf course used to be a plant nursery and because of this, the
holes are named after plants/trees associated with it?

The briefest performance to win an
Oscar. Beatrice Straight.

10) With numerous world championship victories and almost half of the
world’s top 100 players, Nigeria has dominated this ‘sport’ of late. Their
counterintuitive strategy to accumulate smaller scores instead of going
for the bigger ones, has sparked a lot of interest.
Another superpower in this sport, closer to home, is Pakistan. The most
interesting theory to explain this is that parents encourage kids to stay
indoors, due to concerns of safety. What are we talking about?

11) The Beverly Hills Hotel (Image in next slide) is located on
Sunset Boulevard, Beverly Hills. The bungalows and rooms in the
property were always filled with the who’s who of Hollywood,
making it one of the world’s most famous hotels. Because of a
1976 collaboration between David Alexander and John Kosh for
their client, the lawyers representing the hotel, threatened the
pair with a cease and desist action, which, they never went
forward with, because the bookings for this hotel tripled, thanks
to the final result of this collaboration. What did this collaboration
result in, which gave this property a famous moniker, that stood
for ‘ Faded loss of innocence and decadence’?
